The (1953) original equipment 54 leveling/snow blade (54, not 54A) on my Cub is pretty worn, with a lot of slack at each connection, and several parts bent from 60+ years of honest work. And now it appears that the support spring assembly broke.

So question is: Can I (readily) adapt a L-54 (Lo-Boy) blade setup to run on my standard Cub? I found an L-54 not far away.

I looked at the Operator's Manuals, I think I see that the L-54's front axle hanger may be too short. Perhaps I could use my existing hanger, twisted and bent, from the straight 54 blade. Is the lifting apparatus going to be too short? Will I run into other compatibility problems? Should I just be looking for a 54A blade?

Thanks for your wisdom and experience.CharlieYes, it has been a while since I have posted, but I have been working the Cub, steadily plowing my driveway and my neighbor's, and providing warm weather muscle for random tasks. It has been running like a champ still, years after it rolled out of the NE/NY mini cubfest years ago.
